Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida Man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. The Breakfast Club, bitches! Donkey of the Day with Charlamagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this.

Listen, Donkey of the Day for Monday, January 27th goes to Shannon Atkins. Okay, here's a 46 year old Florida man. What does your uncle Charla always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida and today is no exception. Look man, I said this last Thursday when I did the Daily Show and I want to repeat it. Some of y'all not gonna make it through the next four years because y' years because y'all already lost your mind about Trump in the first four days. Okay. Today starts the second week of the second Trump administration.

Last week, Trump signed over a hundred executive orders and actions. And on his first day, he signed 26 of them. Everything from declaring a national emergency at the Mexico border to establishing that it is the policy of the USA to recognize only two sexes on official documents and those sexes are male and female. That's it. So when a trans woman gets called, sir, don't be mad at the person calling the trans sister mister, it's president's orders.

But what I need to tell the American people this morning is please remember your serenity prayer, not just for the next four years, but forever. Okay. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Stop stressing over things that are simply out of your control and what Trump is doing in that White House definitely impacts society but it's out of our control. If you can't come up with intelligent, strategic, productive forms of resistance or

protest to this Trump administration then sit your stupid ass down before you find yourself in a situation like Shannon Atkins. See, Shannon was on social media doing what most people are doing, and that's garnering engagement from people's enragement. See, Shannon decided to say some things about President Donald Trump on social media, Facebook to be exact, and let me rephrase, he didn't have something to say he just threatened to kill. Yeah. Shannon Atkins got on Facebook and said, matter of fact, I'm not repeating what he said. Okay.

Somebody will clip that and make it seem like I said it and have me jammed up. What's the news report? What is it? Right? Let's go to CBS for the report, please. One man arrested for making online threats to the president. West Palm beach police announced the arrest of Shannon DePauw Atkins. The El Kich Chobie man now

including written or elect The investigation began af a tip about violent Facebo at the president. Some of JFK Reagan, Martin Luther posted. Unfortunately, one wrote something to that e Reagan, Martin Luther King and Trump. Atkins posted, unfortunately one is still alive. He wrote something to that effect. He also wrote another saying bullets please. Jesus save America. Police say Atkins says he was joking when he made those posts. He is also facing a drug

possession charge after detectives found cocaine on him at the time of his arrest. Joking? Joking? Wow. Joking? Shannon you thought that was funny? I was just joking doesn't even work in the court of public opinion so it damn sure wasn't going to work in the court of law. I was just joking is not a defense and who you just joking like that for? Okay? See this is the performative stuff that happens on social media but I've been telling y'all

on this radio for years that the things you do online can and will get you jammed up offline Okay, I bet everybody who liked that post or shared that post or left a comment on that post a little 100 Or the praying hand emojis or the laughing emojis not one of those people Shannon are gonna contribute to your bill Now one of those people are gonna donate to your lawyer fees now one of those people gonna pay any of your bills while you are Away in prison. What you posting about killing the president for them? And that's why we say it's all performative because you make a strong statement about wanting to see the president dead only to say you joking when things get real. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, you're gonna see this one through. Okay. By the way,

the government doesn't play about his president. All right, I know you might think they only acting like this because it's Trump, but no. Obama received a lot of internet threats and people got arrested and sent us to prison for threatening to kill 44-2. Now Shannon also got caught with three baggies of cocaine. You heard that in the news report. In my personal life, I have come to the realization that the sooner you understand people be on coke, the less you take things personally.

All right, that is very true. But that has nothing to do with the law. You going to prison. And I just want we the people to be smarter over the next four years, okay? Emotional decision-making will get you results like this. But guess what? Performative decision-making will get you results

like this too. Please give Shannon Atkins the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. are all alone. Yes indeed. All right. He earned that one.

He sure did. Yeah, Clown. Sure did. How many followers do you have, I wonder? It don't matter. In fact, if you got five or 10. That fast? Jesus.

You know why? Because all it takes is for somebody to see it. And then once somebody sees it, then they report it to the proper authorities, which is the FBI. And then the FBI come in and get you. It's really just that simple. Okay? I was just playing, y'all.

I'm just joking. I'm just joking. Jokey joke. Okay. Alright. Alright. Well, that was your donkey of the day. Now, the judge might do that. The judge might be like, 50 years. Damn. That ain't playing. That ain't funny. That's funny. I'm just joking. Give him 20.

Damn. That ain't funny. Donkey of the Day is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney Michael the Bull Lamonsoff. Don't be a donkey when you need a fighter on your side.
